"Never study single words, always learn phrases" (A.J. Hoge). You should learn verbs in the context of simple sentences. Here are some easy verbs that I have culled from Penguin Readers Level 2. They are very easy junior high school level verbs, but very powerful for communication. The links go to sample sentences using verbs with similar or related meanings. (ie. a kind of Verb Thesaurus).
